Overview
OpenMRS currently contains a legacy model for the Encounters and Observations.
These will be migrated to new OWA using ReactJS and combine the two onto one parent interface and toggle between them using two buttons.
Definitions:
Encounter
A single, specific interaction between the patient and a provider. An encounter can be any interaction and includes doctor visits, laboratory tests, food distribution, home visits, etc. Encounters are typically represented as a form (consisting of hundreds of observations), but could also be a touch-screen patient registration or a single lab test for CD4.
- Observation
Anything actively measured or observed during an encounter examples: patients' weights, heights, blood pressures, and BMIs are observations etc.

Why use these two modules?
- These ensure we are able to track a patient's encounters or interactions with the hospital staff and monitor his health progress by using the observations recorded.
